I stumbled across this old photo tonight, It is from my sign fixing days. It would have been about 1994 and I think it was Donington. I was asked to go to Donington to try and repair a sign that had been knocked down. Apparently a skip had been dropped off at the circuit by the chap that owned the company (skipaway rings a bell). Most skip lorries have giant forks that pick the skip up and drop it where ever the client wants it. He had dropped the skip off and decided to do a couple of victory laps while he was there but forgot to put the forks down before setting off. The inevitable happened and he drove straight into an overhanging sign. I was in the area at the time, the phone call I got from my boss was fairly casual so I expected it to be quite a small sign....I was wrong!
It is a shame that I don't have the before photo, he had decimated a large chunk of it. It is amazing what you can do with a club hammer and a load of white paint.
